Frank Haven Hall

Frank Haven Hall, (9 February 1841 – 1911) was the superintendent of the Illinois Institution for the Blind 〔(Illinois Institution for the Blind )〕 and inventor of the first successful mechanical point writer. Known as the Hall Braille Writer, it revolutionized Braille communication by dramatically speeding up the rate by which one could produce Braille characters. He was also an author, soldier, politician, and businessman.
== Biography ==
Hall was born in Mechanic Falls, Maine (9 February 1841). He married Sybil Hall and with her had three children. During the American Civil War Hall served in the Union Army's Twenty-Third Maine Volunteers, as a hospital steward at Edward's Ferry. After the service, Hall attended Bates College for a short time, and graduated in 1862 from the Seminary (by which the college was known until 1863).〔Maine State Seminary Catalog, 1856-1863〕〔
He began teaching primary school in 1864. Two years later he moved his family from Maine to Earlville, Illinois so Hall could advance his career in school administration. While working for the Sugar Grove public schools, Hall owned and ran a general store, a lumberyard, a creamery, and held the political offices of postmaster, township treasurer, and clerk. Hall and his wife also remained active in their local church until his death.〔http://sd129.org/aboutus/schoolnames.html〕
In the spring of 1910 he was diagnosed with tuberculosis of the lungs and diabetes. He died the following January.〔 Hall's final resting place is in Aurora, Illinois (1911).
